Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a positioning system for determining an operating position of an airborne device, and a corresponding method.
Background
Aerial devices of the above-mentioned type are, for example, rotatable extension ladders of fire-fighting vehicles. In rescue situations, it is important to position the vehicle such that the rotatable ladder can reach each desired point in order to operate in an optimal manner. However, the ideal working position of the vehicle must be estimated by the driver or other members of the operator. The quality of this estimate can only be proven after the vehicle is fully secured and the ladder is extracted, and any need to correct a positioning error of the vehicle wastes valuable time. On the other hand, due to poor visibility and in stress situations of rescue situations, a reliable estimation of the ideal position of the vehicle is required.
To support this estimation, a moving distance metering device is used as a handheld device for estimating the operating range of the aerial device by the operator first before the vehicle is positioned at the respective point. Such mobile metering devices are commercially available and use a laser beam to determine the distance between a ground surface point and a point at a high location at a remote environmental surface point, for example a wall of a building. The measured distance is used to determine whether the rotatable ladder will have sufficient operating space when centered on the location of the measured distance, or whether it will reach a remote high point targeted by the moved distance measuring device.
Although such mobile metrology devices are useful tools for determining the ideal operating position, the method is still prone to error and requires a great deal of experience and good skill of the operator. Another source of error in the above case is the fact that: different rotatable ladders have different operating ranges and each estimation must be made taking into account the size of the operating limits of the ladders currently in use. A further problem is the fact that the operating range may depend on the load acting on the top of the ladder, for example the number of persons to be carried in a rescue cage mounted on the top of the ladder. Considering all the cases, even for experienced people, the estimation of the proper operation position is still difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a reliable positioning system for determining the operating position of an airborne device, which positioning system is improved over systems using only a moving distance metering device and which is less prone to error and less demanding on the rescuers.
This object is achieved by a positioning system comprising the features of claim 1 and by a method for determining an operating position of an aerial device according to claim 9.
The positioning device according to the present invention includes a mobile terminal configured to communicate with a moving distance metering device. Both devices are used in the positioning system according to the invention. Mobile distance metering devices are used in a common manner by a person standing at a ground location to measure the distance to a remote environmental surface point. The determined distance is recorded as distance data, which is transmitted to the mobile terminal. For this purpose, a transmission interface of the mobile distance measuring device is used, for example a wireless transmission interface, and the mobile terminal receives the distance data via a receiver interface.
The memory of the mobile terminal is used to store size data relating to the physical size of the over-the-air device. The term "physical dimensions" shall denote the spatial extension of the aerial device and the possible movements of the aerial device according to the degrees of freedom of the aerial device-describing the operating range of the aerial device-but the physical dimensions may also comprise information about the possible loads of the aerial device and/or a dependency of the limits of the operating range on the loads acting on the aerial device. In general, the dimensional data describes possible movements of the airborne device within the real environment space.
A processing device, such as a central processing unit, of the mobile terminal is configured for calculating a position and/or a position range of the airborne device within the virtual space from the distance data and the size data. The virtual space may be a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space representing a real environment space and an aerial device included within the environment space. A display of the mobile terminal is used to display the virtual space, which includes a representation of the location and/or range of locations of the in-air device within the virtual space.
The members of the rescuer can use both devices, i.e., the mobile and portable distance measuring device and the mobile and portable terminal, at the same time. To find the operating position of the airborne device, s/he uses a mobile distance-metering device to measure the distance to one or more remote environmental surface points. Corresponding distance data is sent to the mobile terminal. From these distance data and from the stored size data of the airborne device in the mobile terminal, the processing means calculates a representation of the position or position range of the airborne device at the point at which the distance has been measured. The visual representation on the display is a reliable tool for estimating whether the aerial device will have a good operating position. The entire process of determining the operating position may be performed before the vehicle is finally positioned and secured.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mobile terminal is further configured to receive the size data from an external source.

The operator of the mobile terminal may select the type of over-the-air device from a variety of different over-the-air devices from which the size data may be downloaded, and may select to download a corresponding data set describing the over-the-air device used in the current situation. The system is thus very flexible and can be adapted to different rescue situations.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mobile terminal includes: an optical reading device that reads an optical data code representing the size data; and a decoding device which decodes the optical data code. The optical data code may be, for example, a QR (quick response) code attached to the outer surface of the aerial device. The optical reading device may be represented by a camera of the mobile terminal. The optical data codes are scanned by optical reading means and decoded by usual processing means comprised in e.g. a mobile terminal. In this embodiment, no external internet connection is required for downloading over-the-air device size data. This embodiment of the positioning system has the advantage that it can also be used in places where internet connectivity is not available.
More preferably, the transmission interface of the distance-measuring device and the receiver interface of the mobile terminal are configured to communicate wirelessly via a wireless data transmission standard. Such a standard may be, for example, bluetooth or any other comparable standard for short-range communication. It may also provide the following advantages: for communication between these different devices, standard interfaces used in commonly available mobile metering devices and mobile terminals may be used.
More preferably, the size data comprises load limitation data indicating a maximum load of the aerial device in relation to the position of the aerial device, and the display is further configured to display the load limitation in relation to the represented position and/or position range of the aerial device.
According to another preferred embodiment, the positioning system comprises program means stored in a memory of the mobile terminal and comprising program code means executable by the processing means for calculating the position of the airborne device within the virtual space from the distance data and the size data.

Drawings
The present invention will be more clearly explained with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams illustrating the use of an embodiment of a positioning system according to the present invention for determining the operating position of an aerial device; and
fig. 3 and 4 are another schematic views of a moving distance metering device and a mobile terminal as components of an embodiment of the positioning system shown in fig. 1 and 2.
Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows an operator 10 standing on a ground 12 where a building 14 is located. The horizontal surface of the floor 12 and the vertical walls 16 of the building 14 partially define an environmental space 18. The operator 10 is faced with the task of finding a suitable operating position of the aerial device 20, which aerial device 20 is a rotatable telescopic ladder on top of a fire fighting vehicle. It is noted that the invention is not limited to such aerial devices, but may also be applied to other types of aerial devices for other purposes. Further, it is noted that all elements in the drawings are schematically shown ignoring their relative dimensions.
To find the operating position, the operator 10 positions himself at a roughly estimated operating position from which distance measurements can be made, as will be described in more detail below. The point at which the operator is located is marked as the first point 22 on the ground 12 in fig. 1. From this first point 22, the operator determines the distance to a remote second point 24 on the surface of the wall 16 of the building 14. The distance between the first point 22 and the second point 24 is used to determine whether the aerial device 20 will reach the second point 24 through the top end of the aerial device 20 when located at the first point 22 (fig. 2), wherein in this embodiment a rescue cage 26 is mounted at the top end of the aerial device 20.
The second point thus defines a target point to be reached by the aerial device. Further ambient points may be acquired as they define constraints on the ambient context and may account for the calculation of degrees of freedom for operating the aerial device during movement to reach the target point.
In the case of fig. 1, the operator 10 uses the moving distance-measuring device 28 to determine the distance between the distance-measuring device 28 and the second point 24. The moving distance metering device 28 is a handheld apparatus to be easily carried and operated. The measured distance corresponds approximately to the distance between the first point 22 and the second point 24. The small deviations caused by keeping the moving distance metering device 28 above the first point 22 have no significant effect on the results of the positioning process and are negligible.
The determined distance between the first point 22 and the second point 24 is recorded in the form of distance data within the moving distance metering device 28. These distance data can be transmitted to the mobile terminal 30 by means of a transmission interface coupled to the mobile distance metering device 28 and a corresponding receiver interface integrated into the mobile terminal 30. The distance data is wirelessly transmitted from the transmission interface of the mobile metering device 28 to the receiver interface of the mobile terminal 30 using a common wireless data transmission standard such as bluetooth. Any suitable short range transmission standard may be used in the present context.
The mobile terminal 30 may also be a handheld device, i.e. a portable device, such as a common smart phone or tablet device, which may be easily carried and operated by the operator 10. The mobile terminal 30 also includes a memory configured to store size data related to the physical size of the over-the-air device. These physical dimensions relate to the physical extent, different degrees of freedom, and the range of operation of the aerial device 20 that describes the aerial device 20 as a physical body. Furthermore, the size data may also comprise data describing the operational limits of the aerial device 20 under consideration of load limit data, wherein the load limit data indicates the maximum load of the aerial device 20 in relation to its position. As a typical example, the maximum load of the rescue cage 26 at the top end of the aerial device 20 depends on its extension in the horizontal direction, i.e. the horizontal distance from the first point 22 at which the base of the aerial device 20 is located. In other words, the maximum operating range of the aerial device 20 may depend on the load acting on at least the extended portion of the aerial device 20.
These dimensional data may be obtained from an external source. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a set of dimensional data relating to a particular airborne device 20 is represented by an optically readable QR (quick response) code. The code 32 (fig. 2) may be applied to an outer surface of the aerial device 20. An optical reading device, such as an integrated camera, of the mobile terminal 30 is used to read the optical data code representing the size data, and a decoding device of the mobile terminal 30 is used to decode the optical data code. These decoding means may be represented by usual processing means within a common mobile terminal 30, such as a central processing unit or the like. Once the optical data code is decoded, the corresponding size data is stored in the memory of the mobile terminal 30.
According to a different embodiment, another way of obtaining the size data from an external source is to receive the size data through a wireless interface of the mobile terminal, i.e. a remote connection, such as an internet connection or a connection to another wireless communication network. For example, the size data may reside on an internet server for download by the mobile terminal 30. In this embodiment, the internet connection must be established at the location where the positioning system is used. There may be different data sets corresponding to different over-the-air devices 20 to be downloaded and the operator may select an appropriate data set to download from a menu displayed on the mobile terminal 30.
With the size data and distance data stored in the memory of the mobile terminal 30, the location and/or range of locations of the in-flight device 20 within the virtual space corresponding to the environmental space 18 is calculated using a processing device, such as a CPU, of the mobile terminal 30. In other words, a physical object, such as a building 14, within the real environment space 18 is represented by data within the virtual space, and an aerial device 20 located at a first point 22 positioned within the environment space is represented within the virtual space. The relative positions of the aerial device 20 and the physical body (e.g., building 14) limit the operability of the aerial device 20, which corresponds to the range of positions of the aerial device. From this virtual representation, a possible collision (collision) region can be derived. Further, the virtual representation indicates whether the aerial device 20 has reached a desired point at the building 14, such as the second point 24. If the desired point can be reached, the operating position near the first point 22 can be considered suitable for locating the aerial device 20.
The display of the mobile terminal 30 is used to display the virtual space, which includes a representation of the location and/or range of locations of the in-air device 20 within the virtual space. From this virtual representation, the operator can visually perceive whether the operating position is correct, i.e. whether a desired point can be reached, or whether problems such as collisions with physical objects within the real environment space 18 may occur. If the operator judges that the current position is not suitable as the operation position, he can correct his position on the ground 12, i.e. can change the first point 22, and repeat the process for determining the operation position. Note that this process can be performed in a relatively short time, so that the correction of the operating position in the rescue situation does not waste too much valuable time. This is an advantage over prior art methods in which the vehicle carrying the aerial device must be repositioned to correct the actual operating position, which is very time consuming due to all the fixturing and safety procedures required to use the aerial device 20. In contrast, the present invention proposes to perform the following procedure: the correct operating position is determined in advance from the selected point 22 before the vehicle carrying the aerial device 20 is positioned at the selected point 22.
The display of the mobile terminal 30 may also display load limits related to the represented location and/or range of locations of the aerial device, such that the operator 10 may determine whether the aerial device 20 may carry sufficient load (i.e., the desired number of people in the rescue cage 20 in this example) with the desired extension. This is another useful information for properly positioning the aerial device 20.
Note that the process of receiving the dimensional data from an external source (download from the internet, reading a QR code, etc.) may be performed by the operator 10 via application means stored in a memory of the mobile terminal 30, wherein the application means comprises program code means executable by a suitable processing means, such as a CPU, of the mobile terminal 30 to calculate the position of the over-the-air device 20 within the virtual space.
Fig. 3 schematically shows the moving distance metering device 28 and the mobile terminal 30. As described above, the two devices 28, 30 communicate wirelessly, for example via bluetooth or another wireless data transmission standard, via the transmission interface 34 of the mobile distance metering device 28 and the respective receiver interface 36 of the mobile terminal 30. For the transmission of distance data, the connection between the transmission interface 34 and the receiver interface 36 may be unidirectional. In most cases, two-way communication may be established, for example, to send query commands, status information, etc. to be exchanged between the two devices 28, 30. A representation including the location and location range of the in-air device 20 is displayed on the display 40 of the mobile terminal 30.
The different components of the distance metering device 28 and the mobile terminal 30 are also schematically shown in fig. 4. In the present embodiment, the distance measuring device 28 comprises a laser device 42 for emitting a laser beam and receiving a corresponding reflected or scattered light signal, a Central Processing Unit (CPU)44, a memory 46 and the transmission interface 34. The distance data obtained from the measurements of the laser device 42 is calculated by the CPU44, stored in the memory 46 and wirelessly transmitted to the receiver interface 36 of the mobile terminal 30 via the transmission interface 34.
The mobile terminal 30 itself includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU)48, memory 50, a camera 52 and a display 40. It also comprises a second interface 54 for establishing a connection with another wireless network, such as the internet. With the mobile terminal 30 shown in fig. 4, it is possible to read the optical data code representing the size data, or to download the size data from the internet via the second interface 54. Corresponding application programs may be stored in the memory 50 for execution by the CPU 48.
Note that the moving distance meter device 28 may also be arranged for determining the elevation angle alpha (fig. 1) of the direct connection line between the operator 10 at the first point 22 and the second point 24 at the wall 16 of the building 14. The elevation angle α may also be included in the distance data or transmitted together with the distance data to the mobile terminal 30 via the transmission interface 34 of the mobile distance meter device 28 and used for calculating the virtual space corresponding to the real environment space 18.
